You play the god-baby conceived in DAO, which means, like it or not, you will have powers of some kind which puts you perhaps on both sides of the Mage/Templar conflict. You spend the game choosing which side to support, but after about 40 hours of choices, the game comes together the exact same way as if you went the complete opposite direction and you're forced to join your mother (Morrigan) to kill grandma (good) or side with her to send the land into eternal darkness (evil).
